How else to explain this week's post other than the fact that I couldn't get this music video out of my head? I kept watching it over and over again until eventually I found myself emailing my friends sentences like: "I want to bon appetempt this video." And I guess when you say this kind of thing to people who happen to be talented and hilarious go-getters that will also allow you to take over a room of their house for the afternoon, borrow their clothes, and helpfully shout directions at you while you dance, the below happens—the below being Bon Appetempt's first music video.

Robyn's version:

my version:

Many many thanks to Heather, Jeana, and Brad for what was easily one of the most fun afternoons I've had in a long time. Let's do it again sometime?

HAHAHAHA, this is sooooo awesome!!! You really nailed those killer moves! Wish I could have been around for the practice sessions. Major props to your cinematographer, lighting/set designer, and costume designer! Love it all!

okay...so many things to say about this.1. the first time i saw this video i actually thought her dancing at one stage (the floor hump, clearly) reminded me of you. WEIRD?2. i need more of this kind of thing in my life.3. you are my hero.

Had to Tweet this immediately! Next time I run to this song, I'll be all smiles and laughs thinking of your hilarity :D(Also, I'm totally going to attempt this attempt next time I'm home alone with a tiny disco ball.)

Like all of your blogging, this would be way better if you were a gay guy. (I originally thought you were, when I first read a couple of posts, maybe because I was linked from Lottie & Doof.) Robyn's not really for straight people...

You have caused a serious obsession at our house with your fabulous video! It involves turning on your video & family members imitating YOU! We think you are better than Robyn! Can't wait to see what Greg James at BBC Radio does with his version on Friday!

I just found your blog through "Blog of Note" and I'm an instant fan. You're awesome. That video was pretty cool, and your interpretation? Pure genius. You totally nailed it. Thanks for making me smile, laugh, and want to dance! Keep rocking it out.

Oh my gosh. I just came to your space via The Wednesday Chef and have taken the grand tour this afternoon. Pretty terrible 'cause I need to be clocking hours. I have danced in the privacy my own home to this music video on countless occasions. It just makes me happy to know you're out there.

The sweater is pretty special. I was looking for one online and happened upon this video, which I think you inspired!!http://jezebel.com/5942367/snls-taran-killam-on-his-call-your-girlfriend-video-im-a-robyn-lover

The above was set out, however, before my big culinary change of heart, as documented here. And while we're on the subject of pivotal moments... there have been a few over the (6) years, like this one and this one and, of course, this one AND now this one!
